What is recorded here?

Trained representation-level adapters to redirect activations associated with unwanted behavior while retaining representations for benign behavior, testing a safeguard designed to interrupt problematic generation pathways.

Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.

Scientific scope

The method requires model internals, adapter training and harmful/retain datasets. Reported tests focus on selected single-turn harmful-output attacks. Cygnet combines rerouting with other representation controls, so its complete gains cannot be assigned to rerouting alone. No universal robustness or cost-free filter is proved.
